abstract = {Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is
characterized by deep alterations in behavior and
personality. Although revised diagnostic criteria agree for
executive dysfunction as most characteristic, impairments in
social cognition are also suggested. The study aimed at
identifying those neuropsychological and behavioral
parameters best discriminating between bvFTD and healthy
controls. Eighty six patients were diagnosed with possible
or probable bvFTD according to Rascovsky et al. (2011) and
compared with 43 healthy age-matched controls.
Neuropsychological performance was assessed with a modified
Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), Stroop task, Trail
Making Test (TMT), Hamasch-Five-Point Test (H5PT), and
semantic and phonemic verbal fluency tasks. Behavior was
assessed with the Apathy Evaluation Scale, Frontal Systems
Behavioral Scale, and Bayer Activities of Daily Living
Scale. Each test's discriminatory power was investigated by
Receiver Operating Characteristic curves calculating the
area under the curve (AUC). bvFTD patients performed
significantly worse than healthy controls in all
neuropsychological tests. Discriminatory power (AUC) was
highest in behavioral questionnaires, high in verbal fluency
tasks and the RMET, and lower in executive function tests
such as the Stroop task, TMT and H5PT. As fluency tasks
depend on several cognitive functions, not only executive
functions, results suggest that the RMET discriminated
better between bvFTD and control subjects than other
executive tests. Social cognition should be incorporated
into diagnostic criteria for bvFTD in the future, such as in
the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11, as
already suggested in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
for Mental Disorders (DSM)-5.},
